Catal Huyuk

We have started reading about early communities. We learned about Catal Huyuk which was located in current day Turkey. We learned some great facts about it. Students were given two options of projects to show understanding of this topic. They could build a 3-D version of the homes/commmunities that they lived in or create a mural that would be found in one of the homes.

Here are Shradha, Kiyomi, and Josie working on their 3D model. They worked very well together and included great detail in their model.
Analiese and Payton are hard at work on their mural. They included several pictures of different elements of Catal Huyuk life.

Jack K and Tristan are working on adding a small mural inside their model.

These are all of the models put together. It looks like we have created our own Catal Huyuk village!

This is Serena and Maxine's mural. They drew the animals that the people hunted, the yellow in the back is the barley and wheat that they grew, and they drew the stone wall in the cave that this mural might be found on.
